In December 1773, the Sons of Liberty were in New York when they made a declaration in which they decreed that they disagreed with the Tea Act, as well as anyone who wanted to support the act would be considered an enemy of them. They also established that the person who did not respect the resolutions could not have any connection with them.
The Tea Act 1773 was established by the Parliament of Great Britain as a way to decrease the amount of tea that had been held by the British East India Company and at the same time, help the company to survive. Finally, the Tea Act gave the company the possibility to carry the tea to North America, as well as the right to export tea from Britain without paying taxes.
